Quote Mugwump="Mugwump"The decision was passed 5 in favour and 2 against. Two of the five in favour subsequently stated that they would have voted the other way had they known Assange's arrest warrant had not been issued by a court or a judge. The issue here is not the integrity of those passing judgement - it's the parameters they were ordered to work within passed down by government.'"
From what I read that issue wasn't why he has another 14 days to appeal. It is because his QC spotted that some of the judges based their ruling on something that had not been tested in open court. Not the specifics of what that thing was (can't remember if this was who issued the warrant or not).
However why didn't the judges know who issued the warrant?
Why didn't his QC tell them as part of her defence if this is so significant?
I also thought just because on the face of it someone like a Swedish prosecutor isn't mentioned in the treaty that came up with the European arrest warrant as someone who can issue the warrant the judges can rule it was clearly intended to include such people anyway.
